When Dan posted his 5 year anniversary, I noticed I joined just four days after he did. (that, plus he posted a comment on my home page wishing me a happy five years here, so I’m guessing he’s right and going with it).
Five years! How about that, huh.

I’ve been watching with great interest in A1-Jim’s Low Boy project he’s doing with Charles Neil. 18th century furniture is a favorite of mine.

Someone sent this to me and I wanted to pass it on.
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar andwell fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed meinto my house. Slowly he walked down the hall, curled up ...

Hi all;
I mentioned in a response that all the lumberjocks send a request to home depot to start carrying the alternative to M.D.F.
If you all think this is a good idea let me know.
Maybe we can test out our influence regarding our buying power.
I could prepare a request form to copy and paste, as well as track down who to send it to...

Learned from Jeffery P. Greene’s book on American furniture of the 18th century, he teaches the steps involved in carving one of these beautiful, graceful shells. I’ve always been fascinated by them.

The shanks on these bits are about an 1/8” in diameter.(actually there are three different sizes, wit...

Hello all;
I got an email from Jude Herr yesterday letting me know about a review she did on ezee-feed.
I think it was very nice of her to do this, and a great surprise for me.
It has a guest appearance from David. (his neat outfeed video).

Hello all;
I have been negotiating with a local factory for quite some time to take over producing the ezee-feed units for me.
After the dust settled with the new manufacturer, we have come to an agreement that allows me to lower the price substantially.
Initially it looked as though the price would have to be increased, but with a bulk...
